Hello, Flickr Friends!

I've been absent for a while (long story), but I'm hoping to be around a little more now. Hope you have all been well; I missed your images! My photographic interests of late have been portraits and in particular, playing with off-camera flash, so here we go!

Messing around with off camera flash, using these handy stuffed toys as my makeshift models (there's no way my kids would put up with this!)

Strobist stuff:Vivitar 285HV bare flash to left and slightly in front, shooting down; Canon 430EX flash through snoot on background; white bounce card to right of subject to fill in the shadow side of the bear a little, and one of those silver "sun shade" things for your car's windshield (folded up, so about 5" wide) in front, attempting to gently fill in the shadowed tummy between the legs so it isn't a total void. Trying to do all the above while still retaining textures and shadows.

I had fun playing; and after this image my daughter decided she wanted her toy back thankyouverymuch. Session ended!
